Rome Catacombs & Crypts Tour

Rome is a city that has built and rebuilt upon itself for thousands of years. Our Roman Catacombs & Crypts tour is designed to take you deep down into the layers of Roman history in order to uncover the spell-binding story of this city through the ages. We do so in the most dramatic way possible; by exploring the underground cemeteries and temples that once housed many of the city’s dead and its most mysterious cult, a guaranteed thrill for adults and children alike.

The tour starts in one of the city’s most interesting catacombs. The catacomb contains miles of tunnels and the world’s oldest collection of bones. Your expert guide, hand-picked for knowledge of the catacombs, will lead your small group through these wonderfully historic and atmospheric tunnels, while telling you the story of early Christianity. Large groups simply can’t fit into these areas, so take advantage of this truly unique access.

Next, you’ll continue your journey to another spine-tingling crypt. All cemeteries are festooned with the bones and remains of thousands of civilians; friars, laborers, noblemen; everyone becomes equal in death. Although it might appear macabre, you’ll learn why the display of life is considered affirming as shown here.
